Ereader pleb here. The prices here are insane, but Gubbermen gave us some gibs. I'll use some of it at restaurants and shit, but books seem like a better way to spend money. So I alloted a budget of 100€ for 2 hardcovers. I was thinking Critique of Pure Reason, and Kapital 1. Both of those have really solid translations, and the editions look sturdy. What do you think? A suggestion

I'm ashamed to admit it, but it'd be nice if the book made me look cool when normie friends visit.

What language?

Slovenian. Since I haven't read it in original, I can't really judge, but based on what people have been saying, these 2 are at least the best ones available.

Who cares motherfucker, recommend me books you'd recommend to someone from your own country, let me worry about translations.

I guess. I got some really cheap deals of Spinoza and Aristotle, and if the translations are really shit (I have english versions on hand) I'll just spend the hunnit on some fancy restaurant.
